A minor facelift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the slight improvement of facial features through the tightening and repositioning of facial muscles, skin and tissues. It is typically less invasive than a full facelift and is designed to address mild signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. The goal of a minor facelift is to restore a more youthful appearance without drastically changing the overall look of a person's face.
